1923-D Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS67+
The Sole Finest at PCGS
1923-D $20 MS67+ PCGS. CAC. Researcher Roger Burdette
reasons that a significant quantity of the surviving 1923-D
Saint-Gaudens double eagles are coins that came back from South
American trade shipments. Double eagles from that source generally
show fewer or less severe abrasions than coins from European
sources, as recounts and movements of the bagged coins were less
frequent. A significant quantity of 1923-D double eagles known
today are in Gem or better condition, and although this issue is
definably scarce in Superb Gem grades, such coins are at least
readily collectible -- something that cannot be said of most other
dates in the series.Another attribute largely unique to the 1923-D is its typically strong eye appeal, composed of colorful shades of gold, frosty, shimmering mint luster, and consistently strong strikes -- qualities that make the 1923-D undeniably attractive as a type coin. The Fox specimen harnesses these qualities in a beautiful fashion. Captivating cartwheel luster bands play through greenish-gold margins, with peach-orange and rose-red hues swirling in the centers. Each side is sharply struck and devoid of mentionable abrasions. This is the only MS67 coin with a Plus designation at PCGS, and there are none reported finer at that service. Only a dozen other Superb Gems are CAC endorsed. Population: 79 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 13 in 67, 0 finer (9/19).
David Akers (2008) Comments:
The 1923-D is one of the most common issues in this series, and it is easily the most readily obtainable mintmarked Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle in high grades. In terms of total number of coins known, however, the 1923-D is rarer than the 1911-D, 1914-S and 1915-S. Examples are readily available in all grades from MS60 to MS65. A relatively large number of MS66s and MS67s are known, but the 1923-D is still scarce as a Superb Gem when viewed in the wider context of numismatics.
